Jacob Zuma patiently dodging bullet after bullet

Errol Horwitz, Cape Town

Time and again we have seen Zuma with his back to the wall. With enduring patience, underscored with what can only be perceived as chicanery and deception, he has dodged bullet after bullet, ever mindful of end goals to invariably come out on top. 

Now, according to a recent media report, Zuma’s patient manoeuvring will again be rewarded with disgraced Brian Molefe seemingly on his way to taking a seat in Parliament. It will be the first step In Zuma’s scheme to fire his nemesis, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan , and replace him with Molefe as finance minister.

If Zuma’s manoeuvring comes to fruition, the nation’s finances will be controlled by him, aided and abetted by the infamous Ajay and Atul Gupta. Molefe, in concert with his puppet-masters, will happily oblige.
